Governance, Risk and Compliance Intern - Summer 2027

About the Role

Weaver's Summer 2027 GRC Internships are now open. Our Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) practice includes two distinct service lines: Business Processes and IT Services.

• GRC Business Processes Internship: Offers students the opportunity to work closely with clients to model services to fit their existing structure, process, and staffing. Interns will learn about risk assessments, which help clients determine critical information for their organization. These assessments are customized to meet specific objectives, including internal audit, strategic and general business planning, and compliance projects (e.g., SOX and other regulatory projects). Interns will gain an understanding of internal audit and internal control concepts, financial statement close and reporting processes, and how internal controls impact financial statement preparation and disclosure.
• GRC IT Internship: Offers students the opportunity to work directly with our team on client engagements. Interns will learn about information systems, related internal control theory, and basic auditing concepts. This role requires a basic understanding of the system development life cycle (design, development, testing, production, and implementation) and various computing environments. Interns will develop a foundational understanding of IT general controls, including security administration, program change management, program development, and computer operations.
